The army chiefs of India and Bangladesh are in direct communication to ensure stability on the ground amid the latest flare-up in the neighbouring country, CNN-News18 has learnt.

Bangladesh Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has assured his Indian counterpart that all Indian assets in Bangladesh remain safe, underscoring Dhaka’s commitment to maintaining security despite heightened tensions.

Nationwide unrest and arson by protesters seeking justice for the assassination of anti-India radical leader Sharif Osman Hadi have worsened the situation in Bangladesh, which has been in the throes of instability since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government.

Hadi, a prominent figure of the July uprising, died at a hospital in Singapore on Thursday, a week after he was shot at by masked gunmen in Dhaka.

Since his death, the country has been swept by widespread violence. The offices of two leading dailies, Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, were set on fire by radical groups, while the office of the left-leaning Udichi Shilpigoshthi in Dhaka was also vandalised.
